I finished this and felt sure that I'd read it before. Not sure if that's true or if it's just the same story again, but it wasn't my favorite of hers anyway. I didn't like any of the characters and I felt like it was just too far fetched at the end, even for a suspend reality trashy fun type book.

loved it!

This was pretty much the literary equivalent of watching Gossip Girl or 90210. Not quality by any means, but enjoyable and addictive.

Heartbreak. It has a happy ending but for me, not.

23/09/2018 I unwittingly reread this book this weekend...I am worried that i have no memory of actually reading this book in the first place. I have never forgotten a book before.

I started this book with high hopes, I have loved her previous books Showdown, Do Not Disturb and Scandalous. However this book just didnt reach the standard of her previous work.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it although I am at odds to why I did like it.
I didn't particularly like any of the main characters, they all started off likeable even though they all have faults...however their characters disintregated into selfish and annoying and then unrealistic in the end.

I suppose out of all of them Dorian would have had to be my favourite but seriously "be a man!" I wanted to yell a few times.

All of the characters all have sexual feelings at one point or another in this book and to me thats annoying....am I to believe that really Vio was in love with Tish but having wild passionate sex with another person. I get sex and love are different but in books its meant to be obvious they love that person. I don't mind the fact that characters get together but I think that there should be some time between each one.
At the end everyone is in love and there didnt seem to be any of her usual build-up, in fact the love aspect seemed incredibly quick and I was unsure at what point in the book did any of these characters actually "fall in love".

I still really enjoyed her writing style and each book reminds me so much of her sister Louise Bagshawe's books (who I LOVE!), her writing drew me in and kept me reading. It is definately a lighthearted "chick lit" beach type of read and if you enjoy these then go for it. But as a Tilly Bagshawe fan I cannot help but feel a little disappointed, this would not put me off her future books though.

can a group of people be anymore miserable? even when they are happy they are miserable...geez!

Put together an actress, Sabrina, straight out of rehab and a director, Dorian, who is broke and you get the novel Fame.

Sabrina is straight out of rehab and knows that she is on Hollywood’s blacklist. But she is given one last chance by getting the part of Cathy in the remake of Wuthering Heights. She must get over herself and her better than everyone else attitude.

The part of Heathcliff is played by Viorel. He is sexy arrogant actor. The chemistry between Sabrina and Vio is sizzling and exactly what Dorian was hoping for. But can he put his playboy ways and his past behind him and accept true love?

Dorian, the director, has put everything he has on the line for this movie. His family home and his diva wife have left him broke. His fued with Director Harry Greene has made him not so popular with the Hollywood scene.

Tish’s family home is where the bulk of Wuthering Heights will be shot. This is the saving grace for her, since the home is in need of some TLC and the money has run out. She has returned from Romania, where she runs an orphanage, to her family home to try to figure out how to save the house and keep it in the family.

My favorite character has to be Vio. A sexy movie star who has morals and is good to the “Little People.” He is friendly to everyone and tries to make everyone comfortable. He also lets himself be the bad guy to save Sabrina’s self image with the reporters. How could anyone not love this man?

I am not a big Hollywood start follower, but I loved this book. There was so much more to this than just Hollywood glitz. There is struggles with money, drugs and alcohol abuse, sex and of course love. I felt like all the characters get what they had coming to them, most happy endings, but still had that one unhappy ending. The unhappy ending was so deserved that it made me happy.

I know I will be looking for more from Tilly Bagshawe and will be sharing this novel with all my friends.

This book was miles away from what I expected but it didn't disappoint and I'd finished the book in around a week. It gets you gripped and you really start to feel for the characters and want to know what's going to happen to them. Great read!
